Eating less meat is proven to be better for health

25 August 2011

A report by the British Heart Foundation says 45,000 lives could be saved if people in Britain eat less meat.

The British Heart Foundation Health Promotion Research Group (BHF HPRG) modelled the health impacts of the different diets described in Compassion in World Farming's report Eating the Planet which was produced in partnership with Friends of the Earth.

Our report

Eating the Planet concluded that, to ensure we still have sufficient amounts of food for the growing population by 2050, those in developed countries should reduce their consumption of animal products.

Eating less meat is better for the planet, for our health and for animals.
